Inspectors
Tree Farm certifications are done by trained inspecting foresters
who volunteer their time and expertise to certify family forest owners
who are practicing forestry in a sustainable manner.
To become a certified ATFS inspecting forester, individuals must
have graduated from a 4-year forestry curriculum and attend a half-day
training session. Sessions are offered at various times around the
state.
If you are a forester who is interested in becoming involved in the
Washington Tree Farm Program, please send a message expressing your
interest to info@watreefarm.org and someone will contact you about the next training session.
